I have been referred to a Kaiser plastic surgery center for breast reduction and am considering having a tummy tuck as long as I'm going under anesthesia already. I have heard that it is much less expensive to add a second procedure because the operating room etc. are already being paid for because of the reduction surgery. Has anyone out there had this combo done and do you know what cost is added on for the tummy tuck?
I already know that the entire cost of the breast reduction surgery will be covered by insurance and the tummy tuck will not. I have been told that the tt will be at a discounted price by having the two procedures done together. I have already read support group blogs regarding the recovery and results to expect. What I'm interested in is if anyone has a ballpark idea od what the reduced rate for the tt will be so I can pitch the idea to my hubby before my first appointment with the surgeon.

You will have a longer recovery with a BR and TT. It can be done, the reduction can be covered by insurance, however I'm not sure of the TT being covered by insurance.

Check out http://www.breasthealthonline.org there is a good support board you can get information from people who have had a BR and TT done at the same time.

I am interested in having both of these procedures done too, but both combined is a REALLY tough recovery. From what I have been searching on the internet, a breast reduction is 5-8k and a tummy tuck is around 5k. Probably more convenient to get more done but your recovery is going to be whopper.

I want my implants removed, and my breasts lifted. If I had to choose one procedure over the other I would choose my breast lift and that is what I am having done at the end of the year. I will do the tummy tuck next year after I have lost all my baby weight, if I still feel I need it.

Good luck
